Perfect Angel Released:
1974 Lovin' You is easy cause you're beautiful
Makin' love with you is all i want to do
Lovin' you is more than just a dream come true
And everything that i do is out of lovin' you
La la la la la la la... do do do do do
No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old
And we will live each day in springtime
'Cause lovin' you has made my life so beautiful
And every day my life is filled with lovin' you
Lovin' you i see your soul come shinin' through
And every time that we oooooh
I'm more in love with you
La la la la la la la... do do do do do

LyricFindLovin' You Riperton wrote this with her husband, Richard Rudolph. Maya Rudolph of Saturday Night Live is their daughter, and Riperton mentions her in the lyrics. In the end, she sings "Ma-ah-aha-aha-ah-ya." (thanks, Cher - Ny, NY) Riperton worked with Stevie Wonder as a backup singer, and Stevie produced this track for her. Due to contractual obligations, Wonder's name could not appear on the credits, so he's listed as "Black Bull Productions" (Wonder's zodiac sign is Taurus, thus the bull). Around 2000, this was featured in two commercials that gave it a renewed popularity. It was used in a Burger King commercial as well as a spot for Visa. In the Visa commercial, the guy in charge of music during Pittsburgh Steelers football games tries to buy "Who Let The Dogs Out," but is denied because the music store won't take his check. Since he doesn't have a Visa check card, he is forced to play this during the game, which does not go over well with the players or crowd. Riperton died of cancer in 1979 at age 31. While this was her only hit, she was held in high regard in the music community. This was featured in the 1997 movie Vegas Vacation. Vegas superstar Wayne Newton sings it with Beverly D'Angelo at one of his shows. (thanks, Britney - Calabasas, CA) Eddie Murphy's character sings this in the movie The Nutty Professor. The high-pitched "wailing" part at the end of the chorus is performed by a crude comedian (played by Dave Chapelle), who lets out a cry of pain as he has his fingers crushed in a piano by Murphy, as part of an attempt to shut him up and appease the crowd he has been tormenting with mean jokes at a comedy club. (thanks, Tony - Sunshine Coast, Qld, Australia)
